Shelley Ploss

Rest in Peace, Blue II. You were the highlight of every Basketball game and I will always remember singing “Blue Christmas” to you every year at the Rejoice concert!!

When I came for registration, I met Blue in the Reilly Room. I’d heard that you should scratch a dog’s chin so that it knew you were friendly, so that’s exactly what I did. The handful of slobber is one of my first memories of Butler. What a warm, slimy welcome!! We will all miss you, Blue, thanks for all t…

My mom is a Butler alumnus (’81, Music Ed), and for the past several years our family has used English bulldogs in general and Blue II in particular as a symbol of her and her personality. We had the chance to meet Blue II in person at his retirement party in March 2013. It was a wonderful day that we will always remember. R.I.P. Blue II. We will miss you. See you in Aslan’s Country…

I just recently completed my freshman year at Butler, and while I decided to pursue my higher education at another school due to my specific program, Butler University holds a very special place in my heart. I was the Vice President of Public Relations for the “Butler Bed Buddy,” and I got to know & spend a lot of time with both Blue, Trip, and Michael throughout the entire process of…

I was given the chance to meet Blue II in 2012 when he and I, along with 44 others around the state of Indiana, were chosen to help the Super Bowl Host Committee get the world out about what the SB could do for Indy. That night we were dubbed “The Social 46”. He slept and farted the whole time, and it made us all smile a little more that night.
